American Standard Version
"With kings and counsellors of the earth, Who built up waste places for themselves; "
— Job 3:14, American Standard Version
“With kings and counsellors of the earth, which built desolate places for themselves;”
“with kings and counselors of the earth, who built up waste places for themselves;”
“with kings and counselors of the earth who built for themselves places now desolate,”
“With kings and consuls of the earth, who build themselves solitudes:”
“With kings and the wise ones of the earth, who put up great houses for themselves;”
“With kings and counsellors of the earth, which built desolate places for themselves;”
Why died I not from the womb? Why did I not give up the ghost when my mother bare me?
Why did the knees receive me? Or why the breasts, that I should suck?
For now should I have lain down and been quiet; I should have slept; then had I been at rest,
With kings and counsellors of the earth, Who built up waste places for themselves;
Or with princes that had gold, Who filled their houses with silver:
Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been, As infants that never saw light.
There the wicked cease from troubling; And there the weary are at rest.
